I was driving my 3.8 L camaro the other day and i pulled over to the side of the road and got towed home b/c I lst almost all oil pressure. I cheched it and it has oil abd its not leaking. I just had the spark plugs changed so i wasnt sure if it was a spark plug letting out pressure or an oil pump or oil regulator valve?

you will have to test the oil pressure wit a master gauge, dont rely on the car gauge. if oil pressure is dangerously low, you will have to start looking at the pump, cracked pick up pipe or pressure regulator valve to stat with.
